Apache War

General George Crook, Jim Sundance's old friend, dispatched the half-breed gunman on a peace mission to Fort McHenry, Arizona, where an arrogant young army major was itching for war - and for a promotion. The major's 'enemy', the Apache people, had been living in peace after years of bitter fighting. By the time Sundance arrived, the killing had already begun. The soldiers were out for blood and the Apaches were willing to fight to the death. Only Sundance could prevent an all-out war in the desert ... if the Army would let him!
